i It was an energetic, exciting, and emotional week Everyone made it a lot of fun, Luis Sedillo 1121. Haltom 27-Richland 27 Rebels battle eventual District Champion Haltom to tie in third game of season. By: Tonya Davis Dana Winslow Rivalry, Tradition. Pride. These elements sparked feelings of unity and competitive spirit in the hearts of every Rebel. Haltom Week began with dress- up days like Nerd Day, Twinkie Day, Rebel Flag Day, Hunt Down Haltom Day, and Burn the Buffs Day. Nerds, Twinkies, G.l. Joe look-alikes, and spirited Rebels roamed the halls building spirit. The Car Decorating Contest, the Buffalo-Chip Throwing Contest, and the Decorated Apron Contest added excitement to the week. Haltom Week concluded with the pep rally. The Haltom-Richland pep rally required preparation and effort by everyone involved. Spe- cial routines and skits were per- formed by the Cheerleaders, Stu- dent Council, Dixie Belles, Band, and the Rebellaires. Although press predictions were in favor of the Buffaloes, the Rebels were still fired up for the big game. The Rebel's disappointing loss to Lamar and Haltom's undefeated record did not dampen Richland's spirits. The game ended in a 27-27 tie. Although the tie was a disappoint- ment, it was not a loss. The Rebels tied the team which would become the Bi-District Champions. The Haltom-Richland rivalry never died, it remained stronger than ever. Rebel Pride was very much alive. MThe game may be over, but the pride never ends, said Tammy Bates 1122.

The decorating was the best part of Homecoming Week. It promoted a lot of class spirit and brought students closer together, Dee Iones 1121. Blast From The Past Homecoming activities spotlighted three decades of students who have attended Richland. By: Lori Urban You dragged yourself out of bed dreading another Monday morning at school. Yet, when you walked through the foyer doors you felt as if you were in some sort of time warp. James Dean and Marilyn Monroe stood over to the side close to the pink soda fountain. As you continued your walk you found the school halls filled with psychedelic posters, flash- ing lights and disco balls. You glanced up at the massive decorated walls and read a sign: A BLAST FROM THE PAST - RICHLAND Time travel continued during the week as concerts were put on by students portraying groups such as Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, and The Mamas and The Papas. Phone Booth Stuffing Contests and Twist Contests were as popular as Decade Dress- Up Day , where each class dressed up as their appropriate decade. tSeniors: 195O'sg Juniors: 1960'sg and Sophomores: 1970'sl. Not only these, but the traditional Spirit Link and Penny Jar Contests pro- moted Homecoming enthusiasm. Continued on page 14.
